ok!

Me, which worries me more, these times, it is the total number of creatures in the game.

Now all knows there will be only 6 factions...


---------------------------

in Heroes 3 we had:

8 factions on 7 levels = 56 creatures
+ 6 neutrals (4elem and 2golem)

then armageddon blade brought...
1 faction (including 4 elem already) thus 3 creatures moreover
+ 13 neutral creatures

(Shadow of Death did not bring anything)

thus we had: 56+6+3+13 = 78 different creatures
(63x2 upgrades + 15 neutrals = 131 total including the upgrades)

---------------------------

---------------------------


in Heroes 4 we had:

6 factions on 4 levels with doubles choice (no upgrade - only choices between type)
6 X 4 X 2 = 48 creatures
and we had 19 neutral creatures

for a total of... 67 creatures

The Gathering Storm brought 4 creatures
and Winds of War brought 3 creatures

74 creatures total (including the 2 expansions)

N.B. and Heroes 4 were liked also very little.



---------------------------

---------------------------

in Heroes 5 how much ????


6 factions (Now everyone knows that there will be only 6)
6 x ??? 4 or 5 ??? (if there are 4 or 5 levels of creatures...)

that will make only 24 to 30 creatures total!


how much you imagine there will be "neutral" creatures??
6? (pessimist) 12?? (optimist)

30 to 42 different creatures



...


let us imagine that there are upgrades for each one (this thing is not sure still at 100%!!)

that gives of 54 (24x2+6) to 72 (30x2+12) creatures.


----------------------------

thus...


***** 78 for H3 / 74 for H4 / 30-42 for H5 ***** - differents


***** 131 for H3 / 74 for H4 / 54-72 for H5 ***** - total including upgrades

----------------------------

...


that frightens me terribly

I hope enormously that there will not be ONLY 4 or 5 levels...
that there will be MORE THAN ten neutrals....
that the upgrades will be there....

I hope that Ubi won't cut in this aspect of the play....
to save much time to do only ... very few creatures.

I really hope that you'll give us many, many creatures to deal with !!!

your opinion????
